We made popcorn (Piper’s favorite) and had sparkling grape juice to ring in the New Year.

Cheers!

We celebrated Christmas with the Bechdel’s during our stay.  Gifts were exchanged between the kids and good food was enjoyed.  The kids had fun being silly together. 

Making silly faces

It was great to see Cousin Jeets!

Here’s a few photos of what we did during our stay.

The weather was pretty mild so we made it to the parks

Andrew loved the see-saw

We relaxed

We walked up street for ice-cream and to hear the clock chime.

We cheered for the Steelers and climbed lots of stairs

We hunkered in a bit

We wished for lots of snow

And we played more at the park and ate more ice-cream

Piper was a busy bee seeing lots of friends during her stay. 

Above is a photo of Piper, Avery, Colby, Payton and Andrew.  Avery and Piper had a lot of fun together.  They are similar in age and oh so cute!!

Payton was so sweet to Andrew and read lots of stories to him

Two peas in a pod

Piper also spent time with Eli.  They had a lunch date together where Eli showed her his classroom, then they went to lunch at Pizza Joe’s, had a cookie from the bakery and played at Aunt Susie’s.  Later in the week Piper went to school with Eli for a day.  She LOVED it and wished she could go everyday with him.  After school they went to lunch and played more at Aunt Susie’s.
